IISc campus
The city campus of IISc provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Bengaluru has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The university has a library, in the collection of which you will find not only textbooks and scientific works, but also works of the classics, modern literature and much more. Thanks to international exchange programs at IISc, students can communicate with representatives of different countries and nationalities and thus expand their own horizons. And, the university contributes to this by regularly holding joint events for local and foreign students.
